It is the primary side that is open.
I decided how many turns it needed based on the space where the old coil was. My uncle and I rewound the coil again last night. We wound the primary the same direction as the secondary and filled the space where the old coil was.
We were able to get stations across the dial, but they were not very loud even at full volume!

Could the wrong number of turn cause low volume? If not then we may have the antenna coil problem fixed.
